Chapter 6 The fury of a father!

Sean sat in meditation in his personal chambers. The Guardians continued to beat the Republic and the Separatist at every turn with no defeats and very small losses so far. And unsurprisingly others from various other systems both in the Republic and Neutral systems began to join the Guardians war effort and some of the Jedi began to defect from their corrupt religion to the Guardians as well.

As he was in deep thought a pair of hands were placed on his shoulders making him open his eyes and turned and saw Aayla who smiled at him before pulling him into a kiss.

"You seem happy." Sean said.

"Considering the amount of damage we've dealt to the Republic and Jedi as of late...How can I not?" Aayla said making him chuckle in amusement.

"Yes...The Republic's image is starting to collapse...And the Jedi...More and more of them are defecting to our side." Sean said.

"You're not concerned some of them may be...Spies?" Aayla asked.

"No. All of them are required to go through various tests to prove they have truly defected. Three have proven to be spies when they failed these tests and sent to Atriox for death." Sean said not bothered by how badly his right hand man killed them in any way he saw fit.

However suddenly an alert came through before the image of Kota appeared.

"Something you need Master Kota?" Sean asked.

"We've managed to catch a transmission to the Republic. You need to see this." Kota said before the hologram of a Weequay appeared. Someone Sean was familiar with.

"Hondo Ohnaka. What is he up to?" Sean asked before the message played with Hondo having Dooku captured and he would trade the leader of the Droid army for a million credits in spices. "Hahahaha. Oh Hondo you never change old friend." Sean said.

"We have very little issues with Dooku and if the three way deadlock would come to an end so suddenly right now the rest of the Republic would be forced to draw all their attention on us which in turn would provide some problems we would rather avoid right now." Kota said.

"Hmm. As much as I want this war to end...It's too soon since we share the same goals." Sean said wanting the Jedi's number to thin along with the Republic's.

"What shall we do?" Kota asked.

"Give Hondo what he wants plus extra. I...Shall make the delivery myself." Sean said standing up. "Besides...Dooku and I are...Do for a reunion." Sean said.

Later

Hondo waited patently for the Jedi to arrive.

"If I knew today I would have captured a Sith Lord of all people as a hostage...Ah who am I kidding Just good luck." Hondo said before a Guardian Drop ship appeared. "Hmm. The Guardians?" Hondo asked. He had no trouble from them just so long as innocent people were never in danger.

The back of the drop ship opened up before Sean and Aayla walked off.

"Kruger! My old friend!" Hondo said smiling before Sean shook his hand.

"Hey Hondo." Sean said.

"I take it this isn't a social visit...Clearly you two know of our guest." Hondo said.

"If by guest you mean Dooku then yes." Sean said before a couple troops came out with a few cases before placing them down and Hondo opened them and chucked.

"This is a very nice gift my friend." Hondo said seeing the spices he asked from the Republic only 5 times what he originally asked. "I should have known to call you first." Hondo said before signaling his men to bring our their prisoner.

"I hope he hasn't been harmed." Sean said.

"Of course not. I know better then to put so much as a scratch on him." Hondo said before Dooku was escorted out before he saw Sean and Aayla before smiling.

"Ah...I should have known you'd be here." Dooku said pleasantly.

Suddenly however a couple of Republic Gun ships arrived before landing and Anakin and Obi-Wan got off before they spotted Sean and Aayla.

"Uh-oh." Anakin said before Sean's troops aimed their weapons at them.

"Stand down. We have who we came for." Sean said.

"Wait a minute. We had a deal!" Anakin said annoyed.

"We did. But Sean and his Guardians paid five times what I asked for just to have Dooku." Hondo said.

"It doesn't matter Anakin. As long as Dooku is sent to jail." Obi-Wan said.

"Jail? He's not going to jail. I'm just releasing him and he can go back to the Separatists." Sean said.

"What! You would let a Sith go free? He's worse then Krell and the others!" Anakin said.

"To you. Not to us however." Sean said.

"Why would you let him go free?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Why wouldn't I let my own Grandfather go free?" Sean asked shocking them both while Dooku laughed.

"Surely you must have seen some similarities. Why do you think I left the Order to begin with? To be with my family. And more importantly why do you think I created the Separatists? Revenge for the death of my granddaughter who Krell a Jedi murdered in cold blood by the order of the Senate." Dooku said glaring at them.

"Look I admit I am still shocked the Republic was responsible for her death but to start a war is extreme." Obi-Wan said.

"Many wars have started for many reasons Kenobi. This war is no different. If she were still alive perhaps all of this could have been avoided or if Krell was actually brought to justice sooner. But no. Your flawed order started this war. Matter of fact in the long history of the Order almost Every war was started because of them in one way or another. This will be the final war. And when I win this war. The Jedi will be nothing but a forgotten joke in the pages of history." Sean said before he and his family got on the drop ship and left.

"This is not good." Obi-Wan said.

Later

"WHAT!" Piel yelled.

"As it turns out Dooku was Sarah and Sean's grandfather. Thats why Dooku started this war. Revenge for his granddaughter and for her not getting justice for her murder." Obi-Wan said making Mace sigh.

"Everything seems to be connected to her death. First Half the order left then the Guardians were created then Dooku created droid army to fight us and now her own brother joins in to fight both sides. Only reason he's letting Dooku go is so he can accelerate the death of Jedi." Mace said.

"We need to gain an edge over him!" Koth yelled slamming his fist down.

"And just how are we supposed to do that? Sean has no weaknesses we can exploit." Piel said angered by this.

However suddenly the hologram of Jedi Master Arana appeared.

"Master Arana. Do you have something to report?" Mace asked making him smirk.

"Indeed I do. I have found the one thing we can use against Kruger and his guardians. I'll show you on the landing pad." Arana said ending his transmission.

"What is he up to?" Obi-Wan asked in concern.

Arriving at the Landing platform a small cruiser landed before Arana walked out.

"What exactly have you found to use against Kruger?" Piel asked in anticipation.

"The one thing he cares for the most." Arana said before two Jedi dragged someone out by force.

However who it was shocked most of the council.

"Sean Ashburn Kruger Junior. His and Aayla's son." Arana said while Junior glared at him. He had a human body looking more like his father but had his mother's brown eyes.

"Piss off." Junior said.

"Have you lost your mind!" Adi Galia yelled surprising him. "You kidnaped their son?" Adi Galia asked in shock.

"Not exactly no. We were battling a small cruiser of theirs that wasn't very fit for combat. However we found out why. It was a transport cruiser. Mostly civilians and merchants with no guards...Thats when we found him. He was on his way back from the Elite home world." Arana said.

"And what of the rest of the civilians?" Obi-Wan asked not pleased by him attacking civilians.

"They were left unharmed and a emergency beacon was triggered. They'll be fine." Arana said waving it off. "But him." Arana said grabbing Junior who growled. "This is our chance to finally gain an edge over the Guardians." Arana said.

"This is perfect! With him Kruger will have no choice but to meet our demands." Piel said.

"NO!" Yoda said making everyone look at him. "Use Children to gain victory, Not the Jedi way. Return him home...We shall." Yoda said making Junior smile.

"Well, at least one of you have manners and honor." Junior said getting out of Arana's grasp who growled at him.

"Master Yoda. We must use this boy to defeat Kruger and his army or we will never achieve victory." Koth said.

"I agree. We will use this boy to our advantage and the Chancellor will agree with us." Piel said.

"Go to hell." Junior said.

"Take him to a cell!" Arana yelled getting two Jedi to do so.

"We aren't seriously going to use some kid are we?" Anakin asked in shock.

"I'm afraid a majority of the Senate will most likely vote to use him to their advantage. They know Sean will do whatever they want for his son's safety." Obi-Wan said not liking this or how brutal the Jedi were becoming lately.

Junior grunted as he was thrown into the wall before Koth walked in.

"Being his son must mean you obviously have some valuable information. You will tell us everything you know." Koth said.

"Oh please. I'm ten years old what makes you think my dad would tell me anything about his plans when he doesn't even want me involved." Junior said before he activated his lightsaber.

"Don't test me. Your father has killed hundreds of Jedi since he turned on us." Koth said in anger.

"He turned on you?" Junior asked annoyed. "You people turned on him first when you let my aunt Sarah's killer go free despite the evidence that was given and Krell killed and ruined more lives because of your dumbass's." Junior said before Koth pushed him into the wall.

"That's gonna cost you." Koth said about to stab him in the eye before he was pushed away.

"Master Koth! What do you think you're doing!" Mace yelled in anger.

"Getting answers now move aside." Koth said.

"Be gone! That is an order!" Mace yelled making him frown before he left.

"I don't need your help. Last thing I need is to be saved by a man who turned his back on his students." Junior said glaring at him making him sigh.

"I don't blame you. Not a day goes by that I'm not haunted by my decision to let Krell go." Mace said sitting next to him.

"Then why did you let him go?" Junior asked.

"The Jedi were torn by what had happened. Most believed Krell was guilty as did I in my mind. But most of the members of the Jedi council during that time...They believed the evidence was not strong enough to support your father's story. When Krell walked their was chaos amongst the order and violence ensured. Eventually the Order split in two. Half the order left with your father. The other half was a different story. Half of what remained stayed hoping that eventually Krell would be brought to Justice...The other half believed he was innocent." Mace said getting him to look at him.

"And what about you?" Junior asked.

"I had hoped eventually perhaps things would go back to normal and the other half would come back. There was once 20,000 Jedi in the order now theres less then 10,000 since the war started and less then half of that number are those who also believed Krell was guilty but stayed hoping things would sort themselves out. Regretfully they didn't." Mace said standing up to leave. "I cared for both your father and your aunt when they were my students. I still do." Mace said as he left before the ray shield activated.

"Hmm." Junior said before sitting down.

10 minutes later

Junior was still waiting patently before the ray shield opened up and Arana walked in glaring at him.

"Mace may have protected you from Master Koth since his weakness is in his former students but this time no one will protect you." Arana said activating his lightsaber. "Now...You will tell me everything you know." Arana said.

"I don't know anything. My dad kept me out of his mission to eradicate most of you idiots. Besides why in the hell would you think a ten year old would know anything?" Junior asked before Arana's blade got closer to his face.

"Don't test me boy. Being the son of a traitor like him obviously means you know something. Now...Talk." Arana said.

"Again I don't know anything." Junior said making him growl.

"Ok...You had your chance!" Arana yelled about to slash him only for him to get thrown out the room.

"Master Arana!" Shaak Ti yelled. "You have crossed the line." Shaak Ti said in anger.

"This boy is the key to winning the war against the Guardians. We don't have time to be soft even if he is a child. Now step aside." Arana said.

"You can't seriously expect the Republic will actually approve of this." Shaak Ti said as more Jedi arrived.

"I don't care if they approve or not. If it makes Kruger suffer knowing his son was harmed because of his actions it will be that more satisfying." Arana said as Many Jedi agreed with him while the others frowned.

'He was right...The Jedi are corrupt.' Ahsoka thought in her head.

However suddenly a portal opened up behind him.

"What?" Arana asked before Sean walked through with an enraged look on his face that sent chills down their spines.

"Hey old man." Junior said making Sean look at his son.

"I am not that old boy." Sean said.

"Whatever. This guy was about to slash an arm off on me and another tried to stab my eye uh him." Junior said pointing at Koth who glared at him.

"Is that so?" Sean asked before pulling out his Star Saber before activating it. "Then you two will be the first to die." Sean said glaring at them.

"You have one chance. Surrender you scum." Arana said with Koth backing him up.

"I'm scum? I don' harm innocent children just to get back at someone." Sean said before they charged at him.

(Insert Kraken Combat from Gears 5 soundtrack)

Sean was quick to block their attacks with ease before two more Jedi charged at him only for a red Mace to kill one of them making them turn and saw Atriox come out of the portal.

"Kill them all!" Atriox roared before multiple guardians and their troops rushed out and the Jedi fought them off.

Sean continued his fight against Koth and Arana and both were losing poorly.

"You two should have left my son out of this. You would have lived longer." Sean said before Koth roared as he charged at him with the intent to kill only for Sean to slash his arm off making him cry out in pain as he held his left shoulder where Sean cut it off before Arana quickly tried to hit him only for Sean to slash him in half before aiming his sword at his neck.

"You will never win. The Jedi will be victorious." Koth said.

"You lost this war the moment you guys came to me for help. You should have just taken your chances on your own." Sean said before slashing his head off making him fall down.

Anakin once more fought against Kota and both proved to be evenly matched.

"You skills are wasted Skywalker. You would be wise to join us to fight for true justice." Kota said.

'After this i'm definitely considering it.' Anakin thought having lost most of his faith in the Jedi before their fight resumed.

Aayla pushed through the crowd before rushing to her son.

"Hi mom." Junior said making her smile before holding him close.

"Are you hurt?" Aayla asked in concern.

"Nope." Junior said before the headless body of a Jedi fell next to them with Sean standing over them.

"Get him out of here." Sean said before she picked him up and rushed through the portal. "ENOUGH!" Sean yelled getting everyone to stop. "I ask everyone in this room a serious question. Do you truly wish to continue serving the Jedi and the Republic after the stunt they pulled on my son. Do you wish to follow the same path? Or Do you truly wish to fight for Justice! If you do...Then side with us! Join the Guardians!" Sean yelled.

"Never! Your Guardians are nothing but a joke!" Piel yelled.

"Are they? Do you see us attacking innocent children just because we have an issue with said Child's parents? Do you see us attacking innocent civilians? We're the good guys...Not you." Sean said making him seethe.

Ahsoka was the first to step up.

"I...I no longer wish to walk this path. I'm with you." Ahsoka said shocking the Jedi before Shaak Ti and Adi Galia stepped forward along with other Jedi who sided with Sean years ago but remained on faith.

"You are all traitors!" Piel yelled.

"Better traitors then murderers." Shaak Ti said before they went through the portal. Sean however looked at his former master.

"Since you protected my son I will not destroy this temple. But know this Master. The Jedi's days are numbered. The actions of Koth and Arana are proof enough this order is dying due to arrogance. I...Would consider where your allegiances lie. With them...Or us." Sean said as he left making him sigh.

(End Song)

Later

Ahsoka sighed as she rested in the grass fields at the Guardian Temple.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Sean asked making her smile.

"It is. You were right...The Jedi really are corrupt." Ahsoka said sadly.

"Most of them that remain. In time the Order will be nothing more than a forgotten memory and we will take their place." Sean said looking at his home.

"What about Master Skywalker, Kenobi and Master Windu?" Ahsoka asked.

"Anakin and Obi-Wan will join us in time. As for my former master...I'd be lying if is said I don't want him to join us. I knew the incident tore his loyalties. In a sense to the Jedi before the incident a Padawan is the closest thing you can have to a child. A master as a parent. My mother and father died when I was 3 years old. My sister and my older Brother were orphans for a time." Sean said.

"Brother? Turok?" Ahsoka asked.

"No. Turok wasn't adopted in the family until he was 8 years old five years ago. My older Brother David who is six years older than me was also a Jedi and left with me and the others. He's not part of this war since he hates Violence. He's a guardian yes but he's mostly just a teacher." Sean said before she stood up.

"So what now?" Ahsoka asked.

"Now...We continue our fight against the Jedi. Dooku is far from an enemy of ours since he's my grandfather and his grudge is not against us. Thats why we don't really fight him much. Grievous is an old friend of mine who despite his brutality will be a valuable ally. Yoda in time will join us." Sean said.

Meanwhile

Chancellor Palpatine sat in his office with a pleased look on his face.

"Isn't it remarkable. All it takes is the death of someone important and now the Jedi are close to be wiped out by two who used to be Jedi. Sarah's Brother and her grandfather." Palpatine said to Mas.

"You don't seem concerned about the fact that Kruger may destroy your plans." Mas said.

"I can handle him and his guardians will be mine to command. The only thing I need to worry about is making sure he never finds out that I was the one who ordered Krell to kill his sister...If Dooku found out I was the one who killed his granddaughter...He would no doubt turn against me." Palpatine said.
